You might have read it on the link to a thread that Inky so kindly put on last post for me yesterday.

Personally I prefer the corn either in the microwave or if having a bbq I take the husk off, put my spices on it including a dab of butter, roll it in tinfoil, seal and pop on grill. Roll it around once in a while, takes about fifteen minutes.

Just a drive bye. Was checking to see when a woot package was coming this week. Good night

I prefer corn grilled in husk, Orc doesn't like it that way because it's harder to get the hot husk off the corn. If I grill or campfire corn I leave them in husk, he strips and wraps in foil. I don't care for grill marks on my corn.

Don't feel like watching the Olympics in Norwegian or Swedish, and I don't feel like trying to get a British proxy to catch the BBC broadcast, so I'm not watching the Olympics at all. Kinda feel like I'm missing out, but I guess I'm not missing much more than the average American.

Hoping to watch Curiosity land with the kids, that will be exciting at least.

I think the biggest issue is that these look like toys, serve a very limited useful purpose and non-parents and people who shouldn't be parents can't tell that these are inappropriate for children - and how dangerous they can be. I think of all the magnetic executive toys that I played with as a kid while my parents dealt with bankers, auto loan guys, tractor parts guys, etc. This would fulfill that roll and if the guy whose desk it was on didn't think about the kid warning since he got it in a white elephant in the last office Christmas and stuck it on his desk and while he's got Mom and Dad's attention junior pops a couple little round magnetic candies.... wow that's a really bad thing for that dude. It wasn't even his kid. And what about the plethora of clueless grandmas? I mean the number of inappropriate gifts bought by well meaning and uninformed grandparents is astronomical. Besides baby walkers are still legal in the US and they kill more kids when inattentive parents, grandparents, and babysitters stick a kid in those and let them fall into things than buckyballs.

From an editorial, "A dozen swallowing incidents have been linked by the CPSC to Buckyballs since 2009. Compare that to the estimated 30,000 emergency room visits that occur every year as a result of children swallowing government-minted coins.

There are no fewer than five cautionary labels on every Buckyballs or Buckycubes product box; the company distributes an educational video on the dangers of swallowing the toys."

Son has pneumonia. He's flying off to WI to visit ex's family (grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins) in a couple hours. He's nervous because he's never gone up there by himself. Dad's always been there with him. He'll do fine but it's just different.

Maisy has been throwing up nonstop all day. My house smells like dog barf and I'm using a carpet machine to clean it up. Sigh.

My hip got whacked out again so the chiropractor did a number on me. Massively sore for a while but it's getting a bit better with ice.

It's been an interesting 24 hours.

On the other topic, we had toys that son was only allowed to play with when we were there. It made them special. This would have been one of those. We were lucky though that he didn't put things in his mouth much as a kid.

Good morning everybody! We have had more rain. The carpet on the porch is mildewing. Ick. Somehow I don't think spraying Clorox water on it would be good for the carpet. I don't have a carpet machine to extract the water. I bet this is one of the reasons so many of my neighbors have glassed in their porches!

My lanai which is roofed over then open to pool area gets soaked when it pours and the gutter above it cannot handle the downpour. If it stays wet, as it did when I was away- mildew forms along the edge. Since it is specially made for outdoor use, I poured straight chlorine on it - watched it fade to nothing - and then rinsed it off thoroughly. However, if you don't know if that is possible on your carpet, I would not do it unless you can do a test patch somewhere where it will not show.

AND good morning everybody! Getting ready or trying to - get back out to SEA area. My ribcage is still terribly painful from fall. Must not cough, laugh, bend, sit, reach, etc. Makes it a tad difficult to say to least.

Darn it, I have no choice! Even sitting at computer gets painful. It is not easy to trip over your own shoe, especially when you are wearing it!! Will go back out to Woodinville to the 20 some tasting rooms to blunt the pain!!

Yes but he wasn't running a fever. He never felt bad; just had a cough. I sent him to the doc-in-the-box just to be safe. As soon as they told him he had pneumonia and a fever, he suddenly felt awful. He could have won an academy award for that dramatic change. LOL. A good 8 hours sleep helped. He was in a bad mood last night so I sent him to bed. The cough medicine didn't hurt either.

I love the steamer I have. If you wear tshirts as much as I do, you'll love it. So fast. Freshens up a shirt that you've worn for a just a short while too.

There was really no reason for it in the first place, and if there was, woot needed better programmers.

Yeesh.

The forums have always been a quick and dirty thing that we've meant to go back and redo, there just haven't been enough developers or time. Luke'll admit that too. So, yeah, it was a quick and dirty fix for a quick and dirty platform. =P

Technically, we COULD have not capped it, but we would have seen significant performance degradation. Seemed like stopping a thread to make everything go faster was a pretty good choice.
